For the questions on fair use of the scans: do the scans add something to the article that you really just can't get any other way? With album and book covers, it's *the* cover for the album. Is a score regarded that way?
A section of a score, especially with the main theme, would be a *huge* addition to many articles about pieces of music. A lead sheet for jazz compositions would be awesome.
I don't see why a short excerpt wouldn't be fair use, but I'm probably used to Australian copyright law in this regard.
